Hartford Courant The point in

Hartford Courant The point that The Courant has to make is that the state has no moral right to preserve game for the "sport'' of anybody. That creates a priv ileged class, whose privilege hasn't the excuse of being for the public welfare, but is simply for their own particular fun. It is indefensible. Game may be preserved by law to prevent it's extermination, just as there are laws regulating the time for catching shad, the size of the meshes of nets, etc., but if the state is going to legis- late for the purpose of providing special and exclusive entertainment for gentlemen who enjoy shooting, 1t should also provide the transportation to and from the field, and perhaps establish training school for pointers and settlers. A shot gun is not necessary to close communion with ma ture one can love the birds and trees and bees, the woods, felds, flowers. and clouds, without killing anything. It doesn't need statute law to preserve the love of na- ture, nor can it be restricted to few. Game is another thing, and we fail to see why poor man hasn't as good 8 right to sell a partridge as a rich man has to give it away.

DESCRIPTION OF A NAVAL BATTLE.

Those who have read the narrative of the battle between the Guerriere and the Constitution during the war of 1912 re- member that the American frigate, al though it received three broadsides from the British man-of-war, drd not fire until she had come to close quarters. Then her fire was so rapid that iu few minutes the British ship struck her colors. The story of her capture, as spoken by a Frenchman, speaking broken English, sets forth the main points of the engagement :
 "You see, I vas come from Marseilles with sheepload vine and cognnc 1 Vas go to ze Levant trade. By'm-by Capitaine Dacre he come with zat Guerriere, and he talk my sheep; and he talk all my vine an my cognac in he's sheep; me an my crew he talk prisoners an he burn my sheep.
 "Pretty soon he say: 'Ah, Capitaine Dufosse, I go look now fo' zat Yankee fr!gate, ze Constitution ! Pretty soon he see zat sheep. 'Ah, Capitaine Dufosse, he say, I'm goin' talk zat sheep in twenty minutes !

MULLINS. THE sAGNOSTIC.
AS TOLD B1 DEACON sTIILwArRR.

His name was William Mullins, and
 He had sneerin' way Of turnin' his proboscis up At everything you'd say. 'sWall, now, how do you know ?" said he tsHumph, now, how do you know ?" The way it closed the argument
 It wasn't by no means slow. You might be talking social like
 With fellows at the store, On war or politics and sich,
 And you might have the floor, And be a-gettin' it down fine, ~ Provin that things was so, When Mullins would stick his long nose in
 With ''Humph, now, how do you know ?" seen that eritter set in church
 And take sermon in, And turn his nose up in a sheer
 At death and grace and sin, With no regard for time or place
 Or realms of endless woe, t He'd rise and burst the whole thing mp
 With "Humph, now, how do you know?" He cut his grass whene'er it rained, He shocked his wheat up green, He cut his corn behind the frost, l His hogs was allus lean .- He built his stacks the big end up,
 His corn cribs big end down; ''Crooked as Mullins roadside fence'' l Was proverb in our town. The older he got the wus he grew,
 And crookeder day by day; The squint of his eyes would wind clock,
 His toes turned out each way; His boots and shoes were both of them lefts,
 The rheumatiz twisted SO; But if you said he didn't look well
 He'd growl: "Now, how do you know?" And that darned grit led to his death
 He was on the railroad track, Crossin' bridge: heard the train,
 And yelled: Mullins, come back! The train is round the curve in sight !"
 Says be, "Humph, how do you know?" I helped to gather him up in a pail,
 The engine scattered him 80. think it's best to have more faith | In everyday concerns, And not be allus 8 snoopin' round
 To get behind the returns. A plain statement will do for me,
 A hint instead of blow; A coroner's jury may fetch out facts, . | But it's rather late to know.

Chicago Mail {: A business man whose office is in the Montauk block, whose transactions are all over the west and southwest, gave me funny recital of his experiences in- che of the border counties of Missouri, the occasion being his first visit. As the head of his concern the gen. ,tleman makes one trip year to the west and to the Indian territory. He was mak- ing one of these annuals through Missouri when he stopped over i'll one of the little towns on a jerkwater railroad, where he bought train of logs. It took about half the male population of the town to load the logs on the flat cars. Having paid these off he drew draft on his bank in Chicago for the amount of the purchase, the same being nearly $1, 800. This was handed to the man who had sold. He looked the paper over and, pretending that he knew all about it, said "Yes, but how about the cash for the logs? sold for cash" The Chicago man told him the draft represented cash. The Missourian tos head. The hour drew nigh for the long train to pull out, and the Chicago man was taking things easy. The Mis- sourian had consulted some of his friends, and they waited upon the Chicago man, who was informed that he must not Cat tempt to take them logs away" until he had paid cash down as he had agreed. All explanations as to the paper represent ing cash were of no avail. It so happened that the postmaster i'll the town had a smattering of business, and he was appeal
 ed to. He decided that the paper was a draft, but he didn't know how about the drawer of the draft As the day grew on it occurred to the Missourian to telegraph to Chicago. In an hour reply was flushed back that the draft was as good as gold. Then the Missourian apologized to the Chicago man for having detained him. They even offered to give him dinner if he would remain over The man who had caused the trouble remarked to him con. fidentially: "You see didn't doubt you, but was afraid of that thing you called a draft. First time ever saw one." This occurrence took place in Missouri about four years ago, about the time when the mountain stories of Bret Harte were sup posed to have been congregations.

Last week the New York Times publish ed an interview with ex-Governor Bigelow of New Haven, in which, as a large buyer of iron for his boiler factory, he was rep resented as favoring the removal of duties on all raw materials. Governor Bigelow published card to the effect that he had been misrepresented. He admits saying that free raw materials might increase our export trade, bat it would be ot the expense of home trade. That is to say, free trade would kill off so many home manufactures that the demand for engines and boilers for home factories would decrease, and the boiler manufacturer, even with his iron free, would be worse of than he was be- fore. Governor Bigelow writes that as man who began life working at the bench, he is firm protectionist. "I know this question:" he writes, ''from the side of the wage worker as we'll as from the side of the employer. And never want to see the day when the workmen in my mills or in any other mills in America shall be compelled to work for for the same wages and live in the same manner as the work men of Europe" '~5

DARKY STORIES.

In these days of schools and school masters for the colored people the number of those "who cannot tell their right hand from their left" will presumably rapidly diminish but before the "darky" of ante bellum times quite disappears among the shades of things that are past, here is story of "Elviry." Elvlra fell sick, and her 'ole marster" went to inquire as to the state of her health. The room where she lay was in total darkness Qight and air are carefully excluded from sick room by many negroes), and MT. B. stood out side the door while speaking to the invalid. He asked, (Which eye is it, Elvira, that is swollen ?" The voice of Elyira replied through the darkness, "Marster, it's dat eye over nex' to de barn."
 A similar case of late date came up in one of the New Orleans city courts. A "colored lady" charged one of her own race with assault and battery, having been struck on the face with a brick, and com plaining loudly of her suffering. The judge, seeing no marks of the alleged se- were blow, asked on which side of her head she had been struck. She answered, "Jedge, she hit me on de site dat sOGs t0des de GOO0ds."
 A negro man went into MT. Els of flee for the purpose of instltuting divorce suit against his wife. MT. E. proceed ed to question him as to his grounds for complaint. Noticing that the mans voice failed him, Mir. B. looked up from his papers, and saw that big tears were run ming down over the cheeks of the appli- cant for divorce.
 "Why," said the lawyer, ''you seem to care great deal for your wife. Did you love her ?'
 "LoVe her, sir? I jest a1a0lyzed her !'
 This was more than professional dignity could withstand, and MT. E. laughed until the negro, offended, carried his case elsewhere.
 Another instance of the misunderstood, ing and misuse of ''big words" by the ne Rroes happened in a hotel in Louisville. One day, when the hotel was unusually crowded, the waiter who served meals tC our small party did not appear with his customary bow and smile of welcome After some delay he came up hurriedly, with the apologetic words, 'You mus ex. cuse me, for you know, of co'se, had tc wait on de tTG'asonas first"
 On one of the dining-room cars there were pretty Japanese paper napkins folded within the table napkins. One of the la dies of the party asked the dignified old colored waiter if these were intended as souvenirs. ''Oh, no ma'am," he explain ed, with stately condescension, "deys fe1 you to take home wid you. ."-Editoq''s Dr0aOer, an Harper's Magazine, .for Jun. u04.y. 7

While Managing Editor Frank R, O'Ntil of the St. Louis Republican was sitting with some friends in what is GU. phemistically described as "a popular re- sort" of that city in the small hours of Sunday morning, Judge Noonan of the court of criminal correction came iu. See ing O'Neil, he beckoned him aside, ex- plainiug that he wanted to have little private conversation with him. Then he informed the editor that he had pistol at full cock in his overcoat pocket and would drill hole through him if he moved foot or hand until he got through talking with him. O'Neil stood as motionless as a Greek statue, while his honor-frst beck oning Clark Ewing of the Missouri supreme court to join them-proceeded to free hls mind about the Republican and its editors in terms much more forcible than judicial. "O'Neil kept his temper for a few min utes, says the historian "then he let go his left, and the judge went down. Be- fore reaching the floor, his honor got a right-hander that put him to sleep. He was seriously hurt, and confined to bed"
